UK charts: EA trio still riding high

EA games Mercenaries 2, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 and Spore have held on at one, two and three respectively this week in the UK all-formats chart.

TNA iMPACT debuted at nine but the rest of the top ten remained largely unchanged.

Mario & Sonic surged up to four, knocking Wii Fit to five, ahead of non-mover Mario Kart Wii at six. Carnival: Funfair Games went round and round and round at seven, chased by Guitar Hero: On Tour, which pounded up from 18 to eight. Wii Play rounded out the chart at 10.

Further down and Rock Band - finally released on PS3, PS2 and Wii last week - reappeared at 30. Three places behind Guitar Hero III, if you fancy a bit of drama.

The biggest - notable - movers were Super Smash Bros. Brawl up from 22 to 13, Too Human down from 16 to 38, and Viva Piata down from 23 to 40.
